Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs +1 egg white (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ⅓ cup buttermilk
- ¾ cup Strawberry Cake Filling
- 2 cups Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting
- fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease pans with butter. (2 round 8 inch pans).
- Combine the softened butter and sugar and mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Reduce the speed and add the eggs and the egg white one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add the vanilla and mix until just combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, alternating in batches, a little at a time until everything is incorporated.
- Add the batter to the pans and bake for 30-33 minutes until the cake starts to brown at the edges and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Assemble the cake. Place the first layer on a cake platter or large tray. Spread about ½ cup - 1 cup of strawberry cake filling on the top of the first layer. Be sure to leave about ¼ inch of space around the edge of the cake. (This will prevent the strawberry filling from bleeding out of the side of the cake when you add the second layer.) Place the second cake layer on top of the strawberry cake filling.
- Ice the cake. Ice the cake with strawberry whipped cream frosting. Slice some fresh strawberries and arrange in a circle on the top of the cake, if desired.
